R&B singer Bobby V has asked the Atlanta Police Department to investigate a transsexual sex worker who allegedly tried to extort money from him.
The 37-year-old “Slow Down” singer, whose real name is Bobby Wilson, called in authorities after claiming the sex worker, Reima Houston, tried to blackmail him.
Houston had a different story to tell. He claims Wilson contacted him through his ad offering discreet services on Backpage.com. Houston says he serviced the singer in his Atlanta apartment, but Wilson refused to pay afterwards.
Houston uploaded a video showing the slightly aroused singer hiding in a bathroom before running from the apartment without his shoes or keys.
The video has since gone viral and Wilson became the laughing stock of the music industry.
The R&B crooner, formerly known as Bobby Valentino, said Houston’s claims that he refused to pay for services rendered are false.
Wilson’s representative said the singer had no idea Houston was a man. The rep alleges the sex worker tried to blackmail the star after realizing who he was, prompting the singer to file a police report.
In a statement, the rep adds: “Misrepresentation and deception were maliciously used to target Valentino; during the encounter, Valentino was victimized and threatened by acts of extortion which continued after his departure was captured on video.”
The rep didn’t explain how Wilson contacted Houston, whose ad was posted in the transsexual section of Backpage.com.
Wilson is the latest celebrity to be exposed by the LGBT community. Washed up rapper Tyga was similarly humiliated by a trans sex worker in 2015.
